CB I can help you here: < We did not start this war. We are not the attackers. We are the attacked. As the ones who have been attacked, we have the right to use force to protect ourselves. If you disagree, please explain the factual basis for your disagreement. > When France attacked New Zealand, they started the war. We were attacked. We were not the attackers. We have the right to protect ourselves. You are either with us or against us in the fight against the Matrix of Malevolence. Let's blow up a bunch of French children to defend us. Well, we won't actually target them, but they might be a bit of collateral damage. You see the dilemma? Heck, even if there aren't any children on board, I'm reluctant to blow up the French America's Cup racing boat because I'm not sure that it would actually achieve anything. Anyway, it goes so slowly that I feel sorry for them and they are proving that nuclear power is no good anyway - they just lost their first race by way over a kilometre. I'm not sure just how satisfying I'd find revenge against people who weren't directly involved. Even revenge is problematic [I'd prefer to have a court case in case I was mistakenly taking revenge against innocent people who just seemed to me to be guilty]. Does that help? Mqurice
